Track your stories with our Timeline maker and fantasy Calendar Generator

Keep on top of your story with interactive timelines

Timelines are a surefire way to prevent your history from becoming a mystery, and World Anvil’s timeline maker is second to none! Readers, players and fans can delve into your lore thanks to our interactive timeline creator and explore your world lore in detail. You can use the timeline creator to make timelines for characters, cities, organizations or your whole world!

How timelines work

Time is a very varied thing in worldbuilding - your D&D timeline might be split into ages according to species, like Tolkein’s Middle Earth! With our fantasy timeline creator, you can take this into account, having events appear as and when you need them, and even on multiple timelines at once! Historical events are individual pieces of content on our fantasy timeline generator, and can appear on multiple timelines, so go into as much detail as you like without having to duplicate the work!

A Fantasy calendar generator that works with your timelines!

If you’re creating a fantasy calendar, then we have a fantasy calendar creator for you! Whether it’s three moons or uneven lengths of months, the fantasy calendar generator on World Anvil can help you keep track! Our fantasy calendar maker helps you track recurring festivals, celestial bodies and more. And if you have multiple fantasy calendars to track (looking at you, elves and dwarves) you can assign each one to a timeline, helping you figure out when major events happened within each calendar!
